Does that count?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

I reckon I'll catch it, I've two young kids in nursery, which are basically disease factories (Can't count how many times I've been sick in the last 2 years). Seems like the key is get to the Dr early and get the antivirals in ya (I got asthma so in one of those risk groups).
Imagine we did this every year for normal flu's ...

It'll be just my luck that if I get a job after three months on the bench I'll catch it. Might lose some weight off my face though so there'll be silver linings to it if it happens...
Why do they only say xx,xxx cases? Never tell you about those that got it and recovered, or how long they were laid up for.Comment
